Some Good android tutorials
Posted By mukul ~ 21st June 2011
The google support for each feature in the android platform is pretty exhaustive and their Developer site is a treasure trove of information and tutorials. In addition to these resources, while understanding the platform i came across some great tutorials.
Google now uses the stackoverflow android tag as an additional forum for answering developer queries.
Presented here is a list of tutorials/resources that I had come across during my study of the various aspects of android.
1) Starting with the most basic -

and using various hardware devices

Part 2 – parsing the objects created to a custom adapter

5) SOAP
